[QUOTE="Alibiiv, post: 1636003, member: 69192"] If you have to take it with you on a hunt in 3 weeks, I would suggest adjusting the trigger pull "up" to 3-3 1/2 pounds if you can. For me personally I have a Ruger Hawkeye with a Timney trigger that when I held the trigger back and lowered the bolt to drop the firing pin on an empty chamber to release the firing pin spring tension, the firing pin would not drop "unless" I lifted up on the bolt after it was all the way down, then it would drop. I didn't trust the rifle or the trigger, [U][I]feared that there was something seriously wrong and feared a catastrophic incident[/I][/U] while hunting, sent it back to Timney. If at all possible is there another rifle that you could use instead of this one? My thoughts are what happens if you take the rifle and for whatever reason it does not stay cocked, or fires on its own and you are on a hunt?? It really sucks when something like this happens only three weeks out before a hunt!! [/QUOTE]
